Product Details
■Product Details.
Made in Japan trainers produced in Kurume, where the rubber industry has long flourished. The name SHOES LIKE POTTERY comes from the fact that they are fired in a kiln like pottery. The rubber tape wrapped around the sole is individually stamped with a rope pattern, creating a different look for each piece, just like pottery. The joints of the rubber are fastened with a blue logo mark that resembles sealing wax, giving the design a more distinctive look.
MID NAVY; indigo dye.
Tadeai, the raw material for indigo, entered Japan from China in the Muromachi period (1336-1573). Over the following years, indigo dyeing spread throughout the country, and around 1750 indigo dyeing became popular in Kurume. KASURI DUCK is prepared with natural indigo using the same method as at that time and dyed by hand from the yarn using kase-dyeing.

*What is the Vulcanisation process?
Also known as vulcanisation. This is a very rare process that can only be produced in a very few factories in Japan. The greatest feature of this method is that the rubber is placed in a kiln called a vulcaniser (where sulphur mixed into the rubber undergoes a chemical reaction) in the final process. Shoes produced by this method have the following advantages: the sole is supple and soft, the sole is strong and unbreakable, and a beautiful silhouette can be maintained. Above all, the appeal is the elaborate and beautiful "quality of workmanship" that can only be produced by skilled handwork.
